Frustrated to get their own money, women beat policeman at bank

A nasty fight erupted outside a bank here after a woman attempted to jump the queue to withdraw money, prompting police to fire in the air. The woman identified as Shanti tried to jump the queue at the Punjab National Bank’s Aahar branch here. Those waiting for their turn got agitated and protested, SP (rural) Jagdish Sharma said.

The woman then called five youths, who on arrival at the bank started beating those protesting against Shanti’s behaviour. Policemen present on the scene fired in the air to disperse the warring group.
